2b Posted May 16, 2008 * Pillars of the Earth. *The art of war. Are two favorites that spring to mind. At the moment I'm reading plenty of trashy 'pulp fiction' types, nothing exceptional but it helps me to relax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nabraxas Posted May 21, 2008 The Go-Between by L.P. Hartley. The way he creates an atmosphere of yearning for lost times and of childish innocence really moved me. And with what may be the best opening line in English literature: "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there." But maybe you have to be old enough to have a past to really appreciate it, eh Torsten? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yeti101 Posted May 22, 2008 The Last Legends of Earth by A. A. Attanasio Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons Tiger, Tiger by Alfred Bester Permaculture One by Mollison etc - this is what actually got me into ethnobotany originally. Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison by Foucault The Conscious Mind: In Search of a Fundamental Theory by David Chalmers - especially the last couple of chapters, they absolutely blew my mind.
